1.2 JUSTIFICATION AND RATIONAL OF NOSS DEVELOPMENT

The rational for this NOSS to be developed is to support the industry in developing
competent workforce. The NOSS shall be used as a guide to keep training
programme up to date and abreast with cutting edge technology. It emphasize on the
in depth skills in the field of fabrication technology. Participants will be exposed to
ethical aspects, professional integrity, human capital development and self-resilience
to become skilled workers and or entrepreneur.

Balanced development of fabrications relies on a few quantifiable figures on

fabricating aspect as well human resource. In this regard, the government has
emphasized in human resource development to produce skills workers to support
fabricating industry. It is foreseen that this NOSS will be able to produce skills
workers as required by the industry to ensure sustainable development in fabrication.
